The United States is a nightmareland of toxic waste , melted ice caps , and desperate shortages of oat bran . Horrible mutations roam the countryside... monsters spawned of radiation , environmental toxins , and unregulated bio-engineering . But in a tiny corner of New Jersey , a small group of Superheroes has banded together . Their mission : to nurture the rebirth of a new society , to ease the suffering of the dark age , and to provide a place where Superheroes can always find a date on Saturday night !
